Someone on G+ had a post that summed up some of the angst I have regarding Eclipse. I think its the overbearing framework followed by thin plugins.
http://nfarina.com/post/8239634061/ios-to-android Eclipse has some strong points, but I think some of the apps (plugins) I have tried had less functionality that free-standing competing apps. Some examples: Editor - pydev, bdt, eclim, {insert other editing widget for eclipse here} vs Any product by JetBrains, Emacs, VIM, Textmate, heck UltraEdit on win32. For pure editing, all of these competitors have tons of features they bring to the table. The major thing BDT and others bring to the table are using u2 rpc and svn. Most of the editors I list also have a network layer, or just using plain Samba on your dir file full of u2 src code. There are also dozens of ways to use git, svn, hg, etc. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
